Thank you for your interest in adopting a ferret from the Pennsylvania Ferret Rescue Association! Every year, thousands of ferrets are turned in to shelters like ours because they were no longer wanted, cared for, or loved. They need stable, loving homes, and we thank you for wanting to provide this. Because many people do rush into ferret ownership, we want to ensure that the decision you have made to adopt a ferret is the right one, both for you and for the ferret. This application is the first step in the adoption process from the Pennsylvania Ferret Rescue Association. This application is not short, but understand that we are very careful in our placement of ferrets and want to be as thorough as we possibly can. Please allow yourself 10-20 minutes to complete this application.

For more information about our approval process, please read the Adoption Information page of this site. If at any time you have questions about the adoption process, feel free to contact the PFRA Director nearest your home. We thank you again for your interest in ferret adoption from the Pennsylvania Ferret Rescue Association!

Please note: We will only adopt ferrets to homes within 150 miles of the adopting shelter branch, and we do not ship. You must also be able to visit the shelter at least one time before adoption. If you live out of this range, or are unable to meet these requirements, please visit The American Ferret Association's Shelter List and Ferret Central's Resource Database to locate the shelter nearest to you.

Please download one of the following applications.

PFRA Adoption Application (MS Word Format)

You may fill out the MS Word document and email it to the PFRA for consideration.

Alternatively, you may print out either application and snail mail it to the shelter branch nearest you.
